I would feel dreadful if that happened here. But no worries with mine since it is on ground level and turned inwards .. the birds take no notice of it at all .. phew !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-51189886208904169142014-08-31T11:01:42.114-04:002014-08-31T11:01:42.114-04:00That is a beautiful hibiscus Joy!

I am drawn to the double varieties more than the large single ones & I haven't seen a double white before? <br />I hear you on feeling tired some days!! I just keep trying to power thru. Not sure that's the best method or not?<br />I've been catching up on your posts. Saw the mirror you've added. It's so pretty. I've seen quite a few beautiful gardens w/large mirrors on Pinterest but also read about birds breaking their necks flying into them. :( Have you had any problems or maybe since yours is low to the ground, you won't?

I ...What a nice post, even if you're exhausted! I admit that I love going to the Dollar store when we're in Canada, just like woolworth and Walmart's just to see what I can find for the garden. A few years ago I brought back a wonderful inutshuk, which really looks like stone but so light enough to take it back to France.
